I agree 100%... At some point, you have to trust that assignors are putting you in a position to succeed. I always felt like it is better to get a tough game 1 year late rather than a year early.
On technical fouls, my career has followed a similar trajectory. I have found that with experience, I am a much better communicator with coaches and can diffuse or manage many situations with a Tech only being there for an egregious act or a last resort to keep the game under control.
